    Engine Fault causing poor gearchange

    My car (a w203 C320 cdi) has been into a gearbox specialist due to a bad change. He has said gearbox is fine, and the poor change is due to an engine fault that is reporting a false pressure/reading to the computer, hence the gearbox thinks the engine is at 50% power, when in reality it's at...

    Wind causing instability at motorway speeds. W202.

    Picked up a W202, that seems very unstable at high speed 70+mph. The steering is overly light i.e a tiny bit of movement makes the car move sharply between lanes, the car is also effected badly by side winds needing small constant corrections. The car has recently had both the front and rear...
